Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some albums can have several thousand ratings)
This album is rated in the top 5% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.1/100, a mean average of 75.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.0.

"His band and the street choir" ha un solo difetto: l'essere venuto fuori appena dopo "Moondance", dopo la perfezione...

Good album but it gets kind of repetitive after a while
A much less consistent album than, astral weeks, or, moondance. Any of the tracks on this album would have been filler on those majestic records. Still, it's an enjoyable LP, with, domino, blue money, and, gypsy queen, some of the standouts, although in truth there's nothing spectacular here. Just a good competent album. Nothing more, nothing less.

Overshadowed by Moondance, and for good reason. This is an OK album, but nowhere near on par with the release from earlier in the same year.
